Oil and Gas
The oil and gas industry is using ever more computationally intensive seismic algorithms such as Kirchhoff Time and Depth Migration (KTM, and KDM), Wave Equation Migration (WEM), Spectral Inversion, and Reverse Time Migration (RTM) in the search for energy reserves. These applications are seeing significant acceleration using GPUs. Tesla GPUs have been deployed into production to accelerate seismic processing at various oil majors like Schlumberger, Chevron, TOTAL, Petrobras, Repsol, etc.
